Objective To explore influential factors and features of relapse of presenting with an initial episode of acute central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disease(IDDCNS) in children.Methods By group-control study,20 relapsing patients with IDDCNS compared with 50 single episoding patients with IDDCNS whose case history longer than 0.5 year,whose age at onset,gender,preceding infection or immunization,neurologic syndromes at presentation,therapeutic response,and final neurologic outcome after initial episode were analyzed by mono-factor analysis and multi-factor nonconditional Logistic regression model.Results 1.The risk of relapse increased in the near future,75.0% relapsed before 6 months.There were 18 cases diagnosed multiple sclerosis(MS),1 case neurooptic myelitis and 1 case immaturity myelitis in relapsing patients.There were 39 cases diagnosed acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in single episoding patients.2.Mono-factor analysis:8 factors were not statistically significant,including age at onset,gender,seizure,palsy,conscious disturbance,ataxia,natural relief,sequelae after the first attack;6 factors were statistically significant,including infectious or vaccination agents before episode,fever,visual disorder,multiple neurological signs,positive pathologic reflex,with marked improvement to cortical hormone.3.In the multi-factor stepwise regression analysis,visual disorder(OR=42.50)and positive pathologic reflex(OR=8.666)were the independent influencing factors,multiple neurological signs(OR=0.068)was independent protecting factor.Conclusions The rate of relapse in IDDCNS is lower than abroad and most relapse before 0.5 year,the main diagnosis of relapsing case is MS.When visual disorder and positive pathologic reflex presenting in the fist episode of IDDCNS,the opportunity of relapse will increase,and will decrease when multiple neurological signs presenting.

Objective:To understand the willingness of breast cancer patients to participate in lymphatic reflux training and management after surgery, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A total of 157 postoperative patients with breast cancer were selected by convenience sampling method. The investigation tools included general information questionnaire and lymphedema health belief questionnaire.Results:64.3% (101/157) of the patients were willing to participate in lymphatic reflux training and management. Logistic regression analysis showed that ethnic group ( OR=0.06, 95% CI 0.01-0.68), divorce ( OR=0.08, 95% CI 0.01-0.89), benefit cognition ( OR=12.41, 95% CI 4.26-36.19), obstacle cognition ( OR=3.83, 95% CI 1.48-9.91), behavioral clues ( OR=3.72, 95% CI 1.51-9.20) were significant influencing factors of parents' willness of participating in lymphatic reflux training and management( P<0.05). Conclusion:The willingness of patients to participate in lymphatic reflux training and management is at a medium level, which was influenced by ethnic group, marital status, health belief of benefits cognition, obstacle cognition and behavioral clues. Attention should be paid to the implementation during health education for the prevention of lymphedema, and patient′s willness of participating in lymphatic reflux training and management should be improved.

Microwave ablation,as a minimally invasive therapy,causes focal hyperthermic injury to ablated tumors.It also induces anti-tumor immunity which could contribute to another mechanism of tumor destruction.Combination with immunotherapy could further enhance the tumor-specific immunity,lead to stronger inhibitory effects on both primary and metastatic lesions and decrease recurrence and metastasis.Thus,combination of microwave ablation and immunotherapy is a promising approach in the treatment of solid tumors,especially for advanced cancers.This article reviews recent advances in the mechanism and application of immune effect induced by microwave ablation.

Objective To construct human phage antibody library against hepatoma carcinoma.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) of patients with liver cancer were sensitized in vitro and transformed by Epstein-Barr virus(EBV).The genes of light chain and Fd of antibodies were amplified by RT-PCR.Fab genes were cloned into vector pComb3 and transformed into E.coli XLI-Blue by electroporation to construct the Fab-displaying phage antibody library.Results ELISA detection showed that 4 liver cancer patients' B cells transformed by EBV could produce specific antibodies to hepatoma carcinoma cell.Totally 13 types of light chain genes and 28 types of Fd genes were obtained by RT-PCR.The capacity of the primary phage library was 1.7?107pfu/mL.The percentage of recombinant clones was about 100%.Conclusion A human phage antibody library has been constructed successfully by means of EBV transformation technique.

AIM: To investigate the expression and effect of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA and its protein in infancy rats after exposure to bacterial meningitis. METHODS: Three week old rats were used to construct the models of bacterial meningitis (n=30) and mormal(n=18). At 24 h, 48 h, 5 d after inoculating, the expression of BDNF mRNA and its protein were detected by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical staining methods, respectively. RESULTS: The increase in BDNF mRNA expression was detected by in situ hybridization at 24 h in experiment( 0.13320? 0.02750) compared to control( 0.06269? 0.01147)(P0.05). Meanwhile, in the brain from the experiment rats, strong positive hybridization and immunoreactivity were observed in the infiltrated inflammatory cells in leptomeninges, subarachnoid cavity, ventricles and brain parenchyma. CONCLUSIONS: These results support the hypothesis that BDNF might play a neuroprotective role in brain damage process in bacterial meningitis attacked rats. BDNF might take part in imune response. These results also support the hypothesis that BDNF has some relationships with other inflammatory mediators during acute inflammatory response of bacterial meningitis.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of Ziyin Huoxue Granule (ZHG) combined glucocorticoids and antibiotics in treatment of radiation pneumonitis.

METHODSTotally 70 radiation pneumonitis patients were assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 35 in each group. All patients received glucocorticoids and antibiotics. Patients in the treatment group additionally took ZHG, one dose per day for 4 successive weeks. Watters clinical-radiologic-physiologic (CRP) score, Karnofsky Performance Status Scale (KPS) , and acute radiation injury classification [set by Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG)] were observed in the two groups before and after treatment. The application time for antibiotics and glucocorticoids was compared between the two groups.

RESULTSAll patients completed this trial, and nobody dropped out or died. There was no statistical difference in Watters-CRP scores, KPS, or RTOG between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). Compared with before treatment in the same group, RTOG classification was obviously improved in the two groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, Watters-CRP scores decreased, KPS increased, the application time for antibiotics and glucocorticoids was reduced (P < 0.05). The efficacy of RTOG classification was better in the treatment group than in the control group, but with no statistical difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONZHG combined glucocorticoids and antibiotics was superior in treating radiation pneumonitis to using glucocorticoids or antibiotics alone in elevating Watters-CRP scores, shortening the application time for glucocorticoids and antibiotics, and improving patients' physical conditions.
